Loch Tay Killin Pier Station
The station was located on the west end of Loch Tay, next to a rail-served pier. The station had a single platform, a loop for running around, and a small timber building in the style of the Caledonian Railway. The station was originally opened as Loch Tay (Killin Pier) Station by the Killin Railway, but was renamed Loch Tay Station in 1895. The station closed to passengers in 1939, but the line remained in use because the station housed the line's engine shed. The line was scheduled to close in 1965, but was closed early due to a landslide in Glen Ogle.

BBC iPlayer: Railway Walks with Julia Bradbury, 6. Gateway to the Highlands: Callander to Killin.

30 minutes of beautiful scenery and history of the railway line from Callander, up to Glen Oglehead, and down into Killin.

Julia Bradbury follows the trail of Britain's lost rail empire by walking through the territory of Scottish clans and Rob Roy, once a place to be wary of.

Julia and Ian are very pleased to welcome our guests at the start of the 2024 season. We are so lucky - Balmore is in such a beautiful part of the world, with so much to do nearby.

We've been working our little socks off and have freshly decorated the interior of Balmore from top to bottom, ceilings, walls and woodwork over three floors all re-painted. And this week we've been preparing the garden area. The weather gods have appeared to appreciate our efforts and the sun has begin to shine in Scotland at last!

As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", so in between the jobs we did manage to squeeze in a sublime kayak session on Loch Tay and a couple of gorgeous runs. The longest was 14 miles from Strathyre back to Killin over the Glen Ogle Viaduct on the S7 bike trail, and our favourite local "beach run" yesterday - off-road to the banks of Loch Tay. In the main photo you'll spot some snow still on the high peak of Ben Lawers.

Just to advise, there's still availability for some months between now and end of September. We welcome all enquiries. Best wishes, Julia

Calling any of our previous (or future) guests who may be feeling bored this week or needing a change of scenery, and are feeling impulsive!

We've just had a cancellation this morning for a booking from today until Friday, and it's such a shame to see Balmore empty just as Spring has begun to, er, spring.

I'd be very happy to work out a really good rate for you if you fancy spending a few days up in Killin this week? Please put a comment below or direct message me if you're interested.

Best wishes, Julia
